Films out this week

Children Of The Wicker Man

Shoplifters take on a fashion maven this week in I Love Boosters and mountaineers take on a dangerous climb in Everest: The Other Side. A woman struggles to come to terms with her husband's crimes in Gentle Monster, while another begins to suspect that her baby may not be human in Nightborn. You can take a journey with Thoman Mann in the heavily awards-tipped Fatherland, go behind the scenes of a classic in Making Marie Antoinette, or discover the strange life of filmmaker Robin Hardy in Children Of The Wicker Man. An artificial friend is desperate to find a loving home in Klara And The Sun, while All Rivers Spill Their Stories To The Sea considers the fight for truth of Hartlepool fisherman after a mass die-off, and there are big screen rereleases for Wes Craven meta-horror Scream, Guellermo Del Toro's wartime fairy tale Pan's Labyrinth and Richard Kelly's haunting Donnie Darko.

In addition to the above, we have a great selection of streaming suggestions in our Stay-at-Home Seven, and there's more to explore in our Eye for books column and podcast.
